    Plus he had a great chin.

    That was a crazy comparison.

    yeh it's also a pity how the media put him in the spotlight when something unfortunate takes place..rather than broadcasting all his positive points. The amount of charity work he has been involved in at such a early age shows his generosity whereas most people his age don't give a monkeys about charity. But instead they mention his unfortunate moments i.e. car accident.

    How people label him as big-headed is beyond me.

    This is a Boxing forum and we're discussing Barrera/Khan.

    Who cares about his charity work.

    A decent one considering he is stepping up in weight and he is at the very end of his career as a professional. He has nothing left to prove.

    Amir isn't a world class fighter, regardless.

    MAB is a legend, he should be retired, I dont know why he is still fighting. Khan has crazy hand speed and can make MAB look bad.

    Look at every post on this thread. Where have I shown any hate for Amir Khan?

    I just don't think he's a great fighter. Has nothing to do with race or whatever.

    So your saying Khan hasn't got the tools to become world champion? assuming he develops a good defense.

    Exactly. :good All his great offensive tools are undone by his non existant punch resistance. He hasn't even displayed any great skills against live opponents yet.

    50/50.

    Barrera is old and a Featherweight at his best. Khan might not be able to take those full blooded shots, though.

    So 'IF' Khan wins and looks good in doing so, and MAB gave Khan a good test.

    Will you give the young warrior some respect?


    Because he gota have some balls even getting in the ring with MAB.
